Satire is difficult

Revisado: 08-02-24

When you get it satire is incredibly amusing, and insightful.
For me the satire wasn’t accessible. Maybe if you lived in New York and were surrounded by people like this it would be amusing.
For me, you might as well be satirizing citizens of mars.
It is an inside joke

Hard at times

Revisado: 11-23-23

I struggled with the narrative of “ I, I, I” the food issues and binging made me feel uncomfortable.
At the same time, I feel that was the author’s goal.
It was very well done. Expect to feel uncomfortable. At the end worth it.

The real deal

Revisado: 11-21-22

Paulina writes wonderfully, narrates well, and has put together a great collection of essays based upon her experiences, and what she believes she has learnt over those years.
It is worth it simply to learn about someone we have all probably made assumptions about. I knew who she was but just as a name on a list of supermodels. I didn't even know she was married to Ric Ocasek until things went bad and made the news.

None of that really matters. The book stands on its own, as thoughtful, well written, and interesting.

The Ninth house was completely different. It was steps above. Showing a mastery of character development, and narative

A converstation with a worldy intelligent friend

Revisado: 01-14-18

What made the experience of listening to We're Going to Need More Wine the most enjoyable?

It was like having a conversation with a (talkative) intelligent worldly friend.

Have you listened to any of Gabrielle Union’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

have not listened before

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It was all very moving

Any additional comments?

It took a little while to adjust to the narrative style. The style was completely fitting for the book, but was not what you normally get.

Average made poor by the production

Revisado: 01-11-11

It is hard to truly judge the book given that the narration was so poor. The only break from an unrelentingly flat delivery was the occasional misplaced emphasis, and mispronounciation.
The real shame is that the narrator was clear and understandable. Something must have gone badly wrong in production
